Would you like to have Pontius Pilate in your two-bedroom apartment?
Would you like to have Pontius Pilate in your two-bedroom apartment?
For the last two weeks Paul has been following me around, trying to get me to agree to take in a parrot that one of his client wanted to give away. It’s a big parrot, the talking kind, whose name is Pontius Pilate. We have a really small apartment and already have a dog and a fish tank, so I thought it would be too much responsibility. I did some research on Google about big parrots, and apparently they are a lot of work. They are demanding and tend to be moody.
My first question, of course, was why they wanted to give away such an expensive parrot. Parrot like that may cost around 7 or 8 thousand dollars; why are they just giving him away?
And also, why did they name him Pontius Pilate? I thought there was a real mystery right there.
